Ceylan presented herself last August for Turkey at the World Championships for young dressage horses in Verder (Germany). He scored his highest rating at the trot.

These were the hardest days in my life.”

"We went to the police and are trying to post this news everywhere. Today we'll be going to the Dutch Equestrian Federation and KWPN to report this, concerning papers and registration."Avinal rode the licensed stallion Zygrande Le Coupied at the 2009 Pavo Cup Finals and represented Turkey at the 2010 World Championships for Young Dressage Horses in Verden.

massively. Also the current owner of Zygrande posted a form. Eventually Zygrande did not compete for the final
